The son is responsible

The location of the spring hunting is Yishan in the outskirts of Yongdu. The Yishan Valley has a beautiful scenery. There is a vast valley plain between the mountains and rivers. The trees are verdant but not secret, which is suitable for hunting in the forest.

The carriage of the Xue family drove slowly.The others had already arrived, and there was a crowd, but because the emperor insisted on waiting for everyone to arrive before starting, they all rode on horses, waiting impatiently for the eldest son of the Xue family.

"Brother, how many people are there? Is it lively? Is the emperor coming? With the guards? Where is that scum of the Feng family?" Xue Muji looked out through the gap and asked a lot of questions.

"..."

When the carriage stopped, Xue Huaijiu said, "Here we are."

Most of the guards in the palace were stationed outside the mountain, and there were not many people who came to the valley. The little emperor was wearing a vigorous military uniform, riding a bay red horse, carrying a longbow and arrow basket, looking eager to try, and Lu Yu beside him , on the contrary, he was dressed casually, with a longbow hanging from his waist, and he was lazily lying on the horseback, regardless of the eyes around him.

Everyone watched Xue Huaijiu come out of the carriage, two twin servants who had never seen before led a horse from behind the carriage.Xue Huaijiu grabbed the horse's rope, got on the horse, took the horse's rein, and went to the crowd.Afterwards, the two servants lifted a large mahogany box out of the carriage, found a relatively wide and clean grassland, and gently put the wooden box down.

Xue Huaijiu still attended the gathering of the rich and powerful in Yongdu on behalf of his son, Li Jialin didn't say anything, just like everyone else, they were all curious why the Xue family had to bring a heavy wooden box for hunting.

Only Xie Mu asked about Xue Muji's situation.

"Xue... Xue Shizi..." Xie Mu stammered a little, "Xue Shizi... is he sick?"

He has dragged Xue Muji's favor these few days, Princess Sulian seems to no longer avoid him, and even asked him how to make an umbrella, Xie Consort took him aside yesterday and asked him if he would like to be a consort, although it is Concubine is indeed just a saying, Princess Sulian married to Huajian, and she will be no different from the concubine afterward.He was really elated, prepared a generous gift to thank Xue Muji, thinking that his son's health is not good in the future, he went back to find more herbs, it is best to find some more doctors, and send them to Pingjiang to see Xue Muji.

Lu Qian and Shen Chu were originally side by side. Seeing Xue Huaijiu's figure, she first frowned, and heard Li Jialin next to him ask Shen Chu suspiciously, "This son of the Xue family is really strange, why is he hiding in a box?"

Shen Chu stared in the direction of the red box, and Lu Qian immediately galloped her horse half a step, blocking her sight, and said, "It's getting late, Xue's family is here, and the emperor has to shoot the first arrow quickly, let's have a good time." It is."

"Have fun?"

Li Jialin looked to the side and smiled slightly, but Lu Yu looked up at the sky with a satisfied expression and did not respond to him.

The emperor's first arrow shot into the air, and the geese fell all the way to the north. Everyone cheered in unison, shouting Dajing mighty, Dajing Shengqiang.Li Jialin rode his horse and galloped, followed by Shen Chu, deep into the jungle, followed by two rows of cavalry guards, but the regent turned his horse's head, leaned against a tree leisurely, closed his eyes as if sleeping, and did not move in place.

The rest of the people have already followed the emperor, spread out around, looking for prey.The people who came were all young children from aristocratic families, and they all wanted to perform well in front of the emperor and the regent, and they fought each other to catch up.In a blink of an eye, only Lu Yu and Xue's concubine were left in place.

Xue Huaijiu got off the horse, opened the box, Xue Muji poked out his round head, gasping for breath, "I'm suffocated, I'm suffocated, brother, I want a drink."

Xue Huaijiu untied the water bottle on the horse's back and handed it over, Xue Muji immediately gulped down his neck and drank it.Lu Yu opened his eyes at some point, looking in the direction of the two brothers of the Xue family, with a trace of envy in his expression, as if he was thinking of the time when he was young, riding horses and hunting with his best friends, and drinking fine wine.

The wind blew the young leaves slightly, someone shot down another wild goose, and a feather fell gently on the top of Xue Muji's head. The drinker didn't notice it. Looking at his eyes, he found that his brother's fingers were holding a lock of his hair, and there was a gentle wave in his eyes that he had never seen before.

A feather fell gently, Xue Muji stretched out his hand to catch it softly.

Suddenly, an unharmonious voice came, "Xue Muji, when did you come? I haven't seen you just now? It's just in time for you to come. I heard that Prince Pingjiang is good at riding and shooting. Do you dare to compete with me?" Fan? Whoever shoots the most prey within a stick of incense will win?"

Xue Muji didn't even lift his eyelids, jumped out of the box, stood by the box, and said, "No, why compare with you, it's so boring!"

"You...you have to compare. If you don't compare with me, I will kill you." Feng Jun seemed to be mad, raised the bow and arrow in his hand, and aimed it at Xue Muji.Xue Huaijiu instantly took a step forward and stood in front of Xue Muji.

Xue Muji was so shocked that his mind went blank, he let go of the bowstring stretched in front of his eyes, and the arrow pierced Xue Huaijiu's left shoulder, at such a short distance, he didn't even have time to dodge.

"elder brother……"

He dodged two words before he could say a word, and before his hand touched Xue Huaijiu's back collar, he saw the arrow rushing towards him, only heard a piercing sound, the arrow deflected its course, and stuck on the wooden box he had just hid in, for a while. Branches, tied to the open lid of the box.

In an instant, the stagnant breathing slowly relaxed, and he seemed to be reborn again, brother is fine, brother is fine, brother is fine, these three words remained in his mind, he rushed forward and hugged his brother's neck, his ears pressed against the other's The heart seems to want to confirm that the other party is alive.

After a while, listening to the slightly cold suicide comfort, "I'm fine."

Beside the ancient tree not far away, Lu Yu slowly retracted the bowstring, and two small yellow birds landed on the broken tree branch above his head.

Feng Jun froze. He intended to scare Xue Muji, but after drawing the bow, his wrist didn't listen to him, and he lost his strength and shot the arrow.He looked at the arrow on the box, wondering where the branch came from that deflected his arrow, turned his head, Lu Yu rode his white horse, and came towards several people.

His face turned pale with fright, and he knelt down on the ground with a thump, speaking incoherently, "I, I, I..."

Lu Yu didn't look at him at all, the white horse walked around the kneeling man with its head held high, and stopped in front of the red box.Xue Muji had already regained his senses at this time. He looked at the shadow of the horse and raised his head. Lu Yu was looking at the two of them with a little inquiry.

Xue Muji broke away from Xue Huaijiu, thanked him very sincerely, "Thank you, my lord, for saving my fourth brother's life."

Lu Yu didn't seem to hear Xue Muji talking to him, he thought about the moment Feng Jun's arrow shot at Xue Huaijiu, this beautiful child's courage to face death.Anyone who is tense, fearful, or dull when facing the danger of his life is seldom as brave as this child.At the age of teens, I have never experienced the ups and downs of life. It is not easy to achieve such aspirations.

Lu Yu stopped for a while, still didn't speak, and galloped towards the woods with his horse.Feng Jun got up, picked up the longbow and wanted to leave, suddenly Xue Huaijiu said coldly, "Hunting is not the son's specialty, I will compete with you on his behalf. Feng Jun, I am the one who hurt you, let's say yes first, If I win you, I will settle all grievances with you, and you are not allowed to pester the Pingjianghou Mansion again."

Xue Muji did not stop.

Feng Jun actually nodded, got on the horse, and waved his whip. The two of them were together, facing the lush forest.

After the people left, Xue Muji snapped his fingers.

In fact, he has always been worried that Feng Shizi is playing tricks, even if the arrow slips out of his hand, Feng Jun has no intention, but why did he come here to compete with himself when everyone is busy following the little emperor and competing for performance?Also, Feng Jun has always been proud of his status as the son of the eldest son. If my brother wants to compare with him, under normal circumstances, he should think that he has been greatly insulted, and it is normal to scold and despise him severely.

He nodded casually like this, as if he had planned that his brother would play instead of him.

No, according to Feng Jun's cognition, Xue Muji doesn't seem to come to the hunting ground at all.

When the fourth brother went to drink the wedding wine, he told the regent that the son was seriously ill, and maybe the spring hunting time was not complete.At that time, Li Jialin said casually, I don't force it.

Xue Muji felt cold all over, he snapped his fingers again, his ubiquitous hidden guard hadn't appeared yet.Fufeng and Fuyun disappeared?Or is it held up by something?

Xue Muji felt his hands and feet trembling, the Xishan Valley seemed to be the property of the Feng family.It couldn't be easier for the Feng family to send a few killers in.Didn't he remember this so early?Feng Jun has no brains, but Lord Feng Hou is not stupid, let alone swallow the breath of his son's serious injury in vain.He is Xue Muji's biological uncle, so naturally he won't treat his nephew badly, but fourth brother has nothing to do with him, all his resentment must be repaid by fourth brother.

Xue Muji got on his horse and kicked the horse's belly vigorously, "Quick, let's go up the mountain."

Xue Muji waved his whip, and the horse galloped up to the top of the mountain.

There must be time.
